Scroll for Glyconis

Scenario:

The praefectus annonae has invited you to be part of a group of Romans who will accompany a young woman from the province of Baetica, Coelia Mascellina, on a tour of various locations in Rome. She has recently taken over her mother's business of exporting olive oil and wine from Baetica, and the prefect wants to make sure she enjoys this tour so that he can negotiate a favorable contract with her to supply olive oil for the troops. He is counting on you to introduce her to the part of Rome you know best.

Your Tasks:

1) Reveal your personality to Coelia and the others in the group as you converse and move about the city. You, Glyconis, are a sweet-tempered, generous, friendly and fun-loving person; you are not especially intelligent and have no patience with serious or intellectual things. You adore your twin sons and love your husband, but your manner is flirtatious and you really enjoy a good time, especially if it involves wine.

2) Take the group to the Thermopolium of Scintilla; the best way to get there is for everyone to type @go Thermopolium and then click Thermopolium of Scintilla. Give the group a party--first demonstrate how to pick up and use the ladle, then give it to one of the group and ask them to try, after which they can hand it to someone else. Then show them how to take objects from the cupboard and eat them or drink from them. Encourage people to have fun handing around the objects and eating or drinking, and make sure they know that there is a latrine handy after all that drinking!
